fever

our LO's have colds and got their HIB and pnemonia shots today.
theyve been sleeeping alllll day. they have only eaten 3 times. the last time they ate i woke them to eat and they went back to sleep.

should they eat again? theyve had 3 bottles w/6 oz in each one.
one of the LO's has a fever of 101. gave him some tylenol and now its down to 100.

 

I would wake them to eat at their normal times. Sleepiness after shots is common & the fever will also make them sleepy. Tylenol is great & will probably bring it right down. Hopefully they will be back to feeling great by tomorrow! :hug:

 

I agree with Tina. How are they today?

 

I also agree with tina. Hope they are doing better today.

 

I don't blame you for giving Tylenol. However, you may want to consider a recent study that shows giving painkillers after vaccines may reduce the effectiveness of vaccines. I think it's okay to let a fever run until unless it gets high.
